Abstract

A pattern having variable colors can be attached on a soft material of wearing apparels or household cloths. The pattern is constituted of decorative blocks provided on the surface of the cloth or the soft material and a plurality of color-shielding pieces embedded on the surface of the decorative blocks. At least two opposite outer sides of the color-shielding piece are respectively provided with a colored block, so that the decorative blocks represent a visual effect of variable colors when viewed from different angles since the color-shielding pieces shield the colored blocks.

Description

    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention
  • The present invention relates to a pattern having variable colors. Especially, the present invention can be applied to soft materials such as wearing apparels or household cloths in which the pattern is added to increase the decorative effect. Further, with the change of the viewing angle, the viewer can get distinct visual feelings of variable colors.
  • 2. Description of Prior Art
  • Many apparels or household cloths are additionally provided with various decorations thereon. For example, the addition of the patterns is one of the most common ways. The patterns are presented on the surface of the cloth by embroidering or printing, thereby to emphasize its unique style and satisfy the relish and demand of customers.
  • In order to outstand the visual effect of the pattern, the colors, materials and processing manners of the patterns are important factors having an influence on the representation of the patterns. Therefore, many manufacturers aim to develop novel and improved manners for representing the patterns.
  • Since the pattern on the cloth still belongs to a static design, when the pattern and its colors are viewed from different angles, only the shape of the pattern may be changed due to the individual viewing angle. However, the pattern itself still represents a stiff and toneless visual effect. In view of this, although the manufacturers in this art have continuously tried to find a feasible solution, there is no ideal solution so far.
  • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • In view of the toneless visual effect represented by the patterns on the wearing apparels and household cloths, the object of the present invention is to provide a pattern capable of providing a vivid and variable visual effect.
  • According to the above objects, the present invention provides a pattern utilizing the interference of color. The pattern is constituted of decorative blocks provided on a cloth or soft material and a plurality of color-shielding pieces embedded on the surface of the decorative blocks. At least two opposite outer sides of the color-shielding piece are provided with a colored block, respectively. The colored blocks provided on the two opposite outer sides of the color-shielding pieces have different colors. With the above arrangement, when the decorative blocks are viewed from different angles, they seem to have variable colors since the color-shielding pieces shield the colored blocks.
  • The following embodiments describe the characteristics and advantages of the present invention in detail, so that those skilled in this art can implement the present invention by utilizing the technical content thereof and easily understand the object and advantages of the present invention in view of the disclosure, claims and drawings thereof.
  • BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
    • Fig. 1 is a schematic view showing that the pattern of the present invention is applied on clothes;
    • Fig. 2 is a plan view showing the pattern of the present invention;
    • Fig. 3 is an enlarged schematic view showing a partial structure of the pattern in Fig. 2
    • Fig. 4 is a partially perspective view showing the pattern of the present invention;
    • Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line I-I of Fig. 3; and
    • Fig. 6 is a schematic view showing the color-shielding piece of the pattern in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention.
    DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • In order to further understand the objects, structure and functions of the present invention, the preferred embodiments thereof will be described in detailed as follows.
  • First, with reference to Fig. 1, it is a schematic view showing that the pattern of the present invention is applied on clothes. Further, Fig. 2 is a plan view showing the pattern of the present invention. As shown in the figures, the pattern 10 can be designed by comprising various decorative stripes, colors and the combination thereof, and is not limited to the specific design shown in the drawings. Further, the pattern 10 can be attached on the clothes 20 by printing, drawing or any suitable processing manners. Further, in addition to the clothes 20, the pattern 10 can be applied to other soft materials on which the pattern can be attached.
  • With reference to Figs. 3 and 4, the pattern of the present invention includes decorative blocks 12 with arbitrary designs and a plurality of color-shielding pieces 14 embedded on the surface of the decorative blocks 12. At least two opposite outer sides of the color-shielding piece 14 are provided with a colored block 122, 124, respectively. Since the color-shielding piece 14 shields the colored blocks 122, 124, the decorative blocks 12 can generate a visual effect of variable colors when viewed from different angles.
  • The length and height of the color-shielding piece 14 can be adjusted according to the size of the colored blocks 122, 124. With the provision of the color-shielding piece 14 on the decorative blocks 12, when viewed from the different viewing angles A, B and C in Fig. 5 by a viewer, the pattern 10 represents variable colors due to the fact that the color-shielding piece 14 shields the colored blocks 122, 124.
  • In practice, in addition to the linear shape shown in the drawings, the color-shielding piece 14 can adopt a cross-shaped color-shielding piece 14' shown in Fig. 6. Further, other suitable shapes such as circle or polygon can be also used as long as they have a function of shielding the colored blocks 122, 124.
  • Further, the colored blocks 122, 124 provided on both opposite sides of the color-shielding piece 14 have different colors. In practice, the colors of the two colored blocks 122, 124 can be selected from similar colors, contrast colors or other color combinations so as to determine the hue, luminosity and saturation of the colors.
  • According to the above, the present invention is a pattern 10 combined with color-shielding pieces 14. Due to the fact that the color-shielding pieces 14 shield the colored blocks 122, 124, the decorative blocks 12 can represent a vivid visual effect when viewed from different angles.
